Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a vertex $v in V$, by $N(v)$ we represent the open neighbourhood of $v$. Let $f:Vrightarrow {0,1,2}$ be a function on $G$. The weight of $f$ is $omega(f)=sum_{vin V}f(v)$ and let $V_i={vin V colon f(v)=i}$, for $i=0,1,2$. The function $f$ is said to bebegin{itemize}item a Roman ${2}$-dominating function, if for every vertex $vin V_0$, $sum_{uin N(v)}f(u)geq 2$. The R...

Let D = (V,A) be a finite and simple digraph. A k-rainbow dominating function (kRDF) of a digraph D is a function f from the vertex set V to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃ u∈N(v) f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the set of in-neighbors of v. The weight of a kRDF f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V |f(v...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with 0 has a neighbor with 2. The minimum of f (V (G)) = ∑ v∈V f (v) over all such functions is called the Roman domination number γR(G). A 2-rainbow dominating function of a graphG is a function g that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set {1, 2}, for each vertex v ∈ V (G) such ...

Assume we have a set of k colors and we assign an arbitrary subset of these colors to each vertex of a graph G. If we require that each vertex to which an empty set is assigned has in its neighborhood all k colors, then this assignment is called a k-rainbow dominating function of G. The corresponding invariant γrk(G), which is the minimum sum of numbers of assigned colors over all vertices of G...

a dominating set $d subseteq v$ of a graph $g = (v,e)$ is said to be a connected cototal dominating set if $langle d rangle$ is connected and $langle v-d rangle neq phi$, contains no isolated vertices. a connected cototal dominating set is said to be minimal if no proper subset of $d$ is connected cototal dominating set. the connected cototal domination number $gamma_{ccl}(g)$ of $g$ is the min...

We obtain new results on 3-rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P(6k,k). In some cases, for infinite families, exact values are established; in all other the lower and upper bounds with small gaps given. also define singleton rainbow domination, where sets assigned have a cardinality of, at most, one, provide analogous this special case domination.

a {em roman dominating function} on a graph $g = (v ,e)$ is a function $f : vlongrightarrow {0, 1, 2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ for which $f (v) = 0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ for which $f (u) = 2$. the {em weight} of a roman dominating function is the value $w(f)=sum_{vin v}f(v)$. the roman domination number of a graph $g$, denoted by $gamma_r(g)$, equals the...
